Rome, Christmas gifts are called Pellegrini and Spinazzola

Rome expects the two Christmas gifts from Trigoria to Dubai, round trip. Lorenzo Pellegrini and Leonardo Spinazzola will spend a few days of vacation there and will have a physiotherapist with them who will help them not miss a single day of training to be ready for the new year. The captain, who has been stopped for a month due to a quadriceps injury, will already return with Milan on 6 January, if all goes as planned, while the full-back will take a few more weeks. After the holidays he will be visited again by the doctor who operated on him and will be able to get the ok to return to the group. He hoped – and expected – to come back already now, but only with the passing of the days did he understand that it would be talked about in 2022. He understood it, accepted it, and continued to work with the same enthusiasm and the same energy as always. For now there is no precise date for the return, but the feeling is that it will be discussed towards the end of the month, beginning of February, practically more than six months after the reconstruction of the Achilles tendon of the left leg.

FUNDAMENTALS

—

If Spinazzola has never been available to Mourinho, so far Pellegrini is an essential leader of the team. And Mou yesterday underlined it: “When he comes back we will have more solutions”. And goals too, given that the Giallorossi captain has 8 goals in 18 games this season. Leonardo Spinazzola has no feeling with the opponent’s goal, but he can be decisive on the left wing where so far Vina has alternated good things and less good things. The blue full-back, who was probably the best in Europe when he got hurt, is pawing to come back and give his contribution and Mourinho can’t wait to finally train him.
